I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Great pic! And a nice haircut.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Wouldn't he do better to taunt you with, say, an introduction?

That would be SO CRUEL.

Some people love it -- it's yoga done in a roon generally heated to above 100. Warmth loosens the muscles and generally allows people to get into poses deeper. Some people also believe sweating gets toxins out of the body.

I had a boss who did it while trying to get fit for her wedding, and lost tons of weight (she wasn't big to start with, by any means, but ended up like, a size 4) and LOVED it. She said it was really tough to start with, but was addictive after a couple sessions. The results were tempting, but I tend to be super heat sensitive...OTOH, I like saunas and stuff, sometimes, and don't die, so....I keep contemplating and not doing.

I like saunas and Jacuzzis, but I like to LOUNGE in heat, jump into a cool pool (or step outside into the night) and return.

I don't like MOVING in heat.

I sweat like a trucker during regular yoga, I can only imagine I would drown myself in a hot yoga class.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I hate heat so the only advantage I can figure from hot (Bikram) yoga would be that focusing on the heat misery would distract me from the yoga pain.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I had a friend who became obsessed with hot yoga, and she too lost a lot of weight. I would only lose weight with hot yoga because one can't eat while passed out.

-t - I forgot to say thank you for the headsup about the Bee Haven. If I manage to make it to Davis on my trip, I hope to add that in. I really liked my tour of UC's Bee-Friendly Garden. [link]

I have installed a door. And drilled a hole for the door knob even though I didn't exactly have the right equipment. I am victorious. And sore. And I want a trophy.

Then I had to call my mother, because she'd called while I was doing manual labor.

Shrift, I've been meaning to say that I'm impressed with your gym attendance.

Thanks. I've only been managing 2-3 times a week and only about 30-45 minutes when I'm there, although I lift weights at home and walk a lot while carrying heavy bags, so.

Something is better than nothing, right?
